senn vs Sony vs Koss - Earphones
I own creative ep-630 and want to upgrade to a better earphones. my budget is around 1.5k. i did some research n narrowed down to :
Sennheiser CX-180
Sony MDR-EX35LP
Koss KSC9
any other suggeestion are also welcome.
i mostly listen to rock/metal so need good bass.
Thanks in advance.

Re: senn vs Sony vs Koss - Earphones
i think sennheiser are always overpriced . i haven't heard cx180 but heard cx300 and cx400. they are good but way to much overpriced.
Personally didn't liked Sony MDR-EX35LP , sounded muddy to me .
if you prefer clear sound then try philips shs 9700 or Soundmagic PL30. if you prefer heavy bass you can get the sonys.

i also have EP630 ( and PL30 ) . philips 9700 is by far one of the best i've heard , better than cx300 , so i guess it should be better than cx180. philips are very good value for money , at this budget its definitely better than senn and sony . creative have more bass less clarity .koss i haven't heard .

Re: senn vs Sony vs Koss - Earphones
I have a Sennheiser CX-180 Street II model. The sound quality and ambience is good. Better than an EPx30. In Sony, try getting MDR EX-76LP. Its better than 35LP. Never used a Koss one. Sennheiser gives 2 year warranty on its products while creative and sony comes with no warranty support. My CX-180 is having a problem and need to send for repair

Re: senn vs Sony vs Koss - Earphones
cx-180 cost me 1400 bucks. As far as I know, there isn't much difference in Cx 180 and cx 200.
